Inputting other event data

Once rhythm pattern information has been input to a rhythm song, you can add various other information such as tempo and rhythm section volume. Such data are called “event” information.

1. In rhythm song mode ([SONG/PATTERN] key lit), verify that the [DRUM] key is lit.

2. Press the REC [O] key.

Rhythm song step input becomes possible.

3. Press the cursor up key repeatedly to bring up the indication “EV→” on the display.

EVå

This screen lets you check which event information is entered at the current point. The symbol after “EV→” (such as “Pt” or “TS”) denotes the type of event. Available events and their symbols are listed in the table below.

Type of	Symbol	Content	Range
event
Ptn		Rhythm pattern	000 – 510
		number

•If no tempo information is input for the rhythm song, the tempo currently set for the rhythm section will be used. To ensure that a rhythm song will always play with the same tempo, be sure to enter tempo information at the beginning of the song.

•If desired, you can also adjust the tempo while a song is playing by hitting the [TEMPO] key several times in succession. Check the display to verify that the desired tempo has been set.

4. Move to the location at which you want to input anew event.

You can change the input location in the following three ways.

(1) Moving in steps of a measure

Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the beginning of the preceding or following measure.

(2) Specify the location in beats

Use the REW [T]/FF [Y] keys to move to the beginning of the preceding or following beat.

(3) Specify the location in 16th note units

Repeatedly press the cursor up key to bring up the indication “EV→”, and turn the dial to move forward or backward in 12-tick (16th note) units. You can check the position using the counter display.

The current position is shown to the right of the counter in

measures / beats / ticks.

5. Use the cursor up/down keys to select the type ofevent that you want to input.

If the event you select here has been input at the current location, its value will be displayed. If there is no corresponding event, the display will indicate “ ”. This means that the previously input event will apply.

åTimSig6. Turn the dial to input the value.

The event type “TimSig” can only be input in units of measures. When you turn the dial within a measure, the position automatically jumps to the start of the next measure, and the new event is input at that location.

NOTE

When you change the TimSig event, only the measure and beat division within the pattern changes. The duration of the entire rhythm pattern does not change.

7. Input the other events in the same way.
